Sugar Skyrocket Obesity, Not Lack Of Exercise

Less active lifestyle can indeed make the calories burned so that it becomes less incoming flab. But, it turns out that it is not the primary cause of obesity, but instead of sugar. Health experts contend, excess intake of sugar and carbohydrates is the trigger for an increase in cases of obesity in many countries. Poor eating patterns are considered to be more responsible in the incidence of various diseases, rather than a combination of a lack of physical activity, alcohol, and smoking.

According to Dr. Aseem Malhotra, the cardiologist, the public has misjudged that obesity is caused by lifestyle sedentary (lack of movement). The doctors also claim that obesity has surged in the last 30 years, although there was little change in the level of physical activity. "It's been the cause of our waistlines melebarnya directly on the type and amount of calories consumed. We cannot shy away from as a result of poor eating patterns, "said Malhotra.

In the British Journal Of Sports Medicine, the doctors added that the wrong perception about the causes of childhood obesity comes from the marketing industry teams ' horrible ' is similar to the way used in the tobacco industry. They cite a soda drink brand to associate their products with sports, and shows that it's okay to consume their beverages during your workout.

Malhotra, who works at Frimley Park Hospital, Surrey, United Kingdom, is an adviser to the Group Action on Sugar. Professor Susan Jebb, obesity expert, said that doctors should insist the best way to lose weight is a combination of a good diet and physical activity. "Rather than comparing each other, such as sugar against fat, diet fight individual opponents, population activity, we need to act from all aspects," said Jebb. Jebb added, addressing obesity without improving physical activity would be the same as the ' tying one hand behind your back. ' In other words, changing the diet alone, but less moving, the result will be useless.
